It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Germany does Christmas BIG. Christmas Markets have opened and the smell of warm Gluhwein has filled the market squares. People are lighting their Advent wreaths, and there is a festive feeling in the air. It's my favorite time in Germany, and my family has taken on many of the traditions listed in "How to prepare for Christmas like a German". What about you? Are you preparing for Christmas like the German's do?
